Oku Hanako - Anata ni Suki to Iwaretai [Lyric + Translation]

Romaji:

Oikakete oikaketemo
anata no senaka no haji mo mienai
hitotsu dake negaeru no nara
anata ni suki to iwaretai

Itsuka waratteitte kureta nee
atashi wa donna koto demo hanaseru to
sore wa dore dake zankokuka wo
you wouldn’t know

Aenakunaru kurai nara jibun no kokoro ni uso wo tsuku no
zutto soba ni itai koibito janakuttemo

Oikakete oikaketemo
anata no senaka no haji mo mieni
ichido dake, uso demo ii kara
anata ni suki to iwaretai

Moshimo ano ko ni nareru no nara
yappari atashi wa sou erabu deshou
hito wa mamoritai mono dake ni
hontou no uso wo tsukeru no ka na

Yonaka no denwa kyuu ni “gomen nee” to itsumo no koe de anata wa zurui nee
soba ni irarenai nara yasashiku shinai de

Mou nidoto modorenai nara
anata wo dakishimirarenai nara
kono koe mo kono karada mo
ano toki sutereba yokatta

Aitai tada sore dake de atashi wo ugakushiteirun desu
aenai tada sono koto ga subete no kokoro wo madowashite yuku no deshou

Oikakete oikaketemo
anata no senaka no haji mo mienai
mou nidoto anata no koe do
atashi wo yobanakutemo ii kara
hitotsu dake negaeru no nara
anata ni suki to iwaretai

English Translation:

I run after you
But no matter how I keep running
I can’t get even a glimpse of your back
If I could just have one wish
I want you to tell me you love me

You told me to smile someday, didn’t you?
You think you can tell me anything at all
You really have no idea how cruel that is, don’t you?

If I can’t see you anymore
would I lie to my own heart?
I want to always be by your side
Even if we aren’t lovers

I run after you
But no matter how I keep running
I can’t get even a glimpse of your back
Just once, it’s okay even if it’s a lie
I want you to tell me you love me

If I have the chance to become that person
I guess I’ll choose to do so, won’t I?
I wonder if people only lie
to those they want to protect
The midnight phone call you made
and said ‘Sorry for being so sudden’
in your usual tone of voice –
you really are sly, aren’t you?
If you don’t want to be with me,
don’t be so kind

If I can’t have you back anymore
If I can’t hold you anymore
This voice, even this body
I should have thrown them away back then

I want to see you
just that alone keeps me going on
I can’t see you, just for that alone
I wonder if I should close the window to all my heart

I run after you
But no matter how I keep running
I can’t get even a glimpse of your back
It’s okay if you don’t call me with your voice anymore
If I could just have one wish
I want you to tell me you love me
